AH! So sorry about the alembic file missing...long week :). I've included it in the original post. I don't have a "inside" group in the alembic file...that may be the issue. That is something I noticed between the alembic file and the Houdini created version. I do have an "Inside_Faces_1" group (which does seem to help with the issue). Thanks so much for the suggestions, I'll give them a shot.

See my post below.

Hi, I've got an alembic file that I need to create some debris from. However, when I unpack the alembic, throw it into a material fracture and wire up a debris source node, it doesn't quite work how I want it to. Problem is points are being generated on some of the edges of the outside face. I just want the points to be generated on the fracture edges. Any idea as to why this is happening? I'm assuming it's something to do with the alembic file. I have another set-up that uses a simple box (no alembic file) and the debris source node does fine with that. Any input would be great! Thanks! See attached file for reference and image below. Debris_Source_Cinema 4D_to_Houdini.hip Voronoi_Fracture_Gradual_Break.abc

Hi, Great info in this thread! So how would one go about tapering BOTH ends of the curve? The result would look something like: thin, thick, thin. Thanks!
